#PortfolioDay I'm a paleo enthusiast and aspiring artist, exploring different styles with digital art.

A red Supersaurus leaning on a conifer tree, looking over a forest, at reddish-pink clouds floating over the distant hills.

A Zhejiangopterus standing on a mountaintop, reaching out its broken wing towards the mountains, hills and clouds below. An inscription in Chinese says “My First Visit to the Western Hill” and the date for June 15th, 2025 in the lunar calendar.

A Microraptor wings open, leaping forward close to the ground, kicking up ginkgo leaves behind it.

Happy 120th birthday to Tyrannosaurus rex and Albertosaurus sarcophagus, two of the most iconic of all predatory dinosaurs! Here’s some vintage and modern artwork of the two to celebrate how far we’ve come.

(James E Allen 1934, Beth Zaiken 2024, Paul Geraghty 1965, Joschua Knüppe 2025)

A bronze-orangeish Tyrannosaurus with a striking green eye prowls down a sandy riverside. Its dragging tail kicks up dust as it goes, and its jaws drip with streams of saliva. Its arms are curled beneath the chest, held at odd angles that further the strange and almost unnatural menace it exudes.

The imposing form of a green-grey Tyrannosaurus strides into frame, moving across a sandy shore as its path converges with a Triceratops. The two animals acknowledge each other with measured aggression, subtle but clear.

A hefty, amphibian-like tyrannosaur with a boxy, squared off snout. It stands with its back to the viewer, head turned back with a disdainful expression. The tail coils into a tight curve behind it.

A lightly coloured Albertosaurus with simple but striking red and black markings on the face moves through a wet, oily shore. Its body is stained with oil, and it had a displeased demeanour. A swirl of clouds in the sky behind it suggests early morning or late evening, casting the scene in a dim reddish hue.
